It's the summer holidays, the weather's great, and all the kids are
having fun outside. So where's Greg Heffley? Inside his house, playing
video games with the shades drawn.

Greg, a self-confessed 'indoor person,' is living out his ultimate
summer fantasy: no responsibilities and no rules. But Greg's mom has a
different vision for an ideal summer . . . one packed with outdoor
activities and 'family togetherness.'

Whose vision will win out? Or will a new addition to the Heffley family
change everything?
